Emule and bittorent tuttorials

Ah thanks. But then since eMule doesn’t have such option, I’m now in a dead end. Any sugestions about my problem? I’ll be unable to use Comodo after all? :-\

Emule works with Comodo. If it doesn’t, some setting is wrong.
You can show us a screenshot of your network monitor, and also go to the log and right click and save as html. Attach it here or paste it in your post. Remember to have Emule running while you export the log.

Thx for answering! here they go, zipped together.

EDIT: couldn’t attach the file with comodo installed (turning it off was useless, had to remove it to be able to attach). I was thinking if it could be my HW’s fault, but then why does ZA works fine… ???

Excellent tutorial pandlouk uTorrent went green straight away after following it. I’ve been using McAfee for a good while but thought I 'd give Comodo a run out coupled with Nod32.

Hi!
I’m new to comodo, and for the moment I’m very happy :slight_smile:

I have a parallel question with emule config…
I use the “Network Monitor” rules and works fine…
But CPF (I don’t kno why) don’t detect emule, and not configure it automatically on application monitor. I don’t know if the rules I set are correct:

TCP In → Destination [Any] Port [my emule port]
TCP Out → [Any] [Any]
UDP Out → [Any] [Any]

should be a more restrictive options?

thanks!! :wink:

Hi,

I’m not really a new user of CPF. I’ve browsed the forums but have not spoken up till now.

I had no problems with utorrent until 1 day when it suddenly showed that the port was blocked (it was green the few weeks before). I tried every setting in the forums but I still can’t get it to turn green. I’ve even shut down comodo & reinstalled it several times but to no avail.

I realised that the issue is not with CPF since the port showed that it’s blocked even when CPF & nod32 is shut down. Can anyone give me any suggestion to solve my problem ?

Thanks in advance !

Hi !

I hope my language is not so bad (i’m not english).

I discover Comodo and I don’t really understand why it is necessary to create rules for emule/torrent and not for other softwares just need to be allowed in the application monitor ?

I am also wondering if the network controler have priority over the application monitor or if it’s the reverse ? So, when I allow all inbound connections to 1214 TCP for example, am I doing it for all applications ??

Thanks for :wink:

Hi all first of all two thumbs up for the devs for bringing us this great firewall. Have used Sygate for ages but since it is no longer updated I finaly changed to Comodo…and I’m loving it! (:LOV)

Everything works out for me and I’m very happy with the program except for a frustrating problem with emule.
I’ve searched the web for solutions during the past couple of hours and tried them (like the network monitor rules solution described in the first post) but it just doesn’t work. Emule keeps giving a Low-ID and the TCP test fails if I try! Before I used comodo I never had a Low-ID and i’ve been using my donkey for more then three years now!

I’ve added rules to the network monitor as mentioned in the first post, bumped them up the ladder, added emule to the aplication, rebooted the computer and…nada! No effect! Still getting a Low-ID! :THNK

Any help would be greatly appreciated by you guys.

Thanks!

Have you checked the log if anything is getting blocked?
Do you have default rules except for your Emule rule in network monitor?

You’ll probably want to use a utility like TCPView, PortQuery, FPort, etc to see what has caused that port to be closed.

Also, did you do/have any updates to your utorrent application? An update might have changed its configuration in some way…

Yes, I just got the default rules next to my emule rules in Network Monitor. I even tried bumping them to first and second place (0 and 1).
I’ve checked my logs and Comodo is blocking something during Emule startup but I dunno what to make of it…

Here’s a copy/paste taken from the Comodolog from Windows startup till Emule startup occuring at 21:59.

My config is Win XP Pro SP2 including latest updates, Windows Security center disabled (so no Defender, Win Firewall etc.), AVG Antivirus Free 7.5 and AVG Anti-Spyware 7.5 running in the background next to Comodo.

Hi, from Russia ! Yes, but when my eMule is working 36553 TCP port, for example, is open from outside for all the world, not only for eMule ! pcflank test shows just this fact !
And this is not good :frowning:
Am I right ?..

OK, someone’s done pcflank test pandlouk
So how does it really work? :slight_smile: TEN Information (Access Granted) logs every 5 seconds is not just my imagination.

Why when i only add eMule as trusted application to Application Control Rules and sellect Skip Advanced Security Checks for this application i can still see firewall blocking incoming UDP packets saying they bogus, i still got low ID even when i uncheck all options in Advanced Attack Detection and Prevention.

P.S. I don’t like idea to open any port in Network Control Rules.

You have to open a port in network monitor to get it to work.
When you don’t use it, it’s stealthed from internet, so no need to worry.

Okay i understand this, but can someone explain why this does not work by disabling Advanced Attack Detection and checking Skip Advanced Security Checks for application, isnt this only thing that was stopping incoming connections?

No, it’s not the same thing.

I’ve done that, like explained before but I still get a low ID! I really dunno what to do and make out of the logs! Comodo works great except for it’s problem with Emule.

Anybody got any ideas how to resolve my problem?

The first thing I can ask, is if you use the same port on TCP and UDP?
If not, try it.

I guess that you have followed the guide in the first post in this thread, but I’m gonna ask you anyway, if you have disabled UPnP in Emule?

I’ve changed settings so that my UDP port is the same as my TCP port, updated my Network monitor rules, restarted my computer but my problem remaines unresolved. I still get a LowID.

As for UPnP, there is no setting in Emule’s standard or advanced config to disable it.

For more info on my configuration or logs chack a few posts back.

I really hope anyone has a solution for this problem.
